"Okay, let’s go with your plan... In the afternoon, Yuezhe and Yuxuan will both secretly protect you. Don’t worry."

Yu Sangwan gave a small smile, "Yes, I know."

In the afternoon, Gong Xueyan hurried back, just as Yu Sangwan was getting up and changing clothes.

"You’re here?" Yu Sangwan asked sleepily, "You’re quite early... I’ll wash my face and be ready."

Gong Xueyan nodded, "I’ll wait for you in the car first."

"Okay."

Gong Xueyan sat in the car, still pondering about Qin Shaoju.

Going forward, there’s no turning back!

Considering Susu, what choice does she really have?

Yu Sangwan got into the car, waved her hand in front of Xueyan’s face, "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh?" Gong Xueyan snapped back to reality, "Nothing, just a bit tired... Let’s go!"

"Alright."

The journey felt exceptionally long as both carried their own thoughts.

Yu Sangwan was sleepy, yawned, closed her eyes, "I haven’t fully woken up yet, Xueyan, I’ll nap for a bit. Wake me when we arrive."

"Okay."

Gong Xueyan feeling guilty, agreed.

Yu Sangwan’s body leaned against hers. Gong Xueyan dared not move, noticing the driver’s route seemed off.

Gong Xueyan glanced at the sleeping Yu Sangwan and softly asked, "Where are we headed?"

"Oh." The driver replied, "We’re stopping by the district infusion center... Ever since Miss Susu’s incident, Miss has been highly cautious, checking every prescription, delivering them personally, testing before allowing Susu to use them."

"..."

Gong Xueyan was stunned, her heart a mix of emotions.

She knew these things weren’t difficult for Yu Sangwan.

But the real challenge was how Yu Sangwan always considered her!

How could she harm someone like that?

In an instant, Gong Xueyan suddenly realized! No, she couldn’t fall for Qin Shaoju’s trap because of Susu!

She almost committed an unforgivable mistake.

The car stopped at the district infusion center, the driver went about his task, while Yu Sangwan continued to sleep.

Gong Xueyan got out, took out her phone and made a call, "Hello, is this Dr. Lin?"

Dr. Lin, the doctor responsible for Yu Sangwan’s prenatal check-ups.

"So sorry." Gong Xueyan chuckled, "Miss Fu is feeling unwell today, she won’t be able to make her prenatal check-up today, can we reschedule? Okay... Thank you."

After hanging up, Gong Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt lighter.

In the car, Yu Sangwan leisurely woke up, "Xueyan."

"Awake." Gong Xueyan smiled gently, "I just received a call from Dr. Lin, she mentioned she has a sudden surgery today and can’t do your prenatal check-up, she suggests rescheduling."

Yu Sangwan was momentarily surprised, alright then!

After a moment, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

See? She won after all.

In terms of calculating and scheming, she was of course no match for Lu Jinxuan. Lu Jinxuan had already sensed Gong Xueyan’s wavering, but she was completely unaware...

But, she gambled right... Gong Xueyan still had a conscience, she could be saved.

Gong Xueyan stopping midway was the best evidence.

In fact, Lu Jinxuan already had the information... Qin Shaoju had bribed Yu Sangwan’s doctor, so long as Gong Xueyan cooperated... then today upon arrival, Yu Sangwan would have been taken away by Qin Shaoju’s people!

Gong Xueyan got back into the car, the driver returned as well.

Yu Sangwan beamed, "It’s still early, nothing to do now. Xueyan, what do you want to do?"

Gong Xueyan furrowed her brow, shook her head, "Wanwan... I..."

"I know." Yu Sangwan interrupted her with a smile.

Gong Xueyan’s heart skipped a beat, "You, know?"

"Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded.

"..." Gong Xueyan felt embarrassed, of course, how could she not know? Though Yu Sangwan is simple, Helian Si stands behind her!

The car started, in the rearview mirror, two cars could be seen trailing from afar.

Gong Xueyan asked in confusion, "You knew, so why are you still willing to let me follow?"

"I was gambling." Yu Sangwan smiled, "I don’t want to lose such a good friend! Xueyan, thank you, we... have truly become sisters. You haven’t lost yourself due to Susu."

Gong Xueyan felt ashamed, "I’m not that good. I actually wavered."

"That’s normal, I’m also a mother, I understand." Yu Sangwan comforted her.

Gong Xueyan was troubled, "But, Qin Shaoju is so awful, once he finds out you’re not at the hospital, who knows what tricks he’ll try next!"

"Yes." Yu Sangwan frowned, "Regarding this matter, I’ll consult with the President’s cabinet." Late at night, Lu Jinxuan rushed over.

"Jinxuan!"

Yu Sangwan descended from upstairs, throwing herself into his arms.

Lu Jinxuan cautiously enveloped her in his embrace, kissing her forehead, "Why are you waiting? I’ll come, just seeing you is enough, no need to wait."

"But..." Yu Sangwan looked up at him, "I want to see you too, how can you be so selfish?"

Lu Jinxuan paused, then laughed, "Yes, my fault."

Leading her upstairs, they laid down on the bed.

"Taotao, was today okay?"

"Yes." Yu Sangwan laid against his chest, "Xueyan truly is different now, despite her inner struggle... in the end, she didn’t harm me."

Lu Jinxuan looked down at her, "Indeed! You’re good at judging people."

"Hehe." Yu Sangwan snuggled closer into his embrace.

Lu Jinxuan chuckled, "So happy?"

"Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded, "There’s one more good person in the world, isn’t that worth being happy about?"

Lu Jinxuan’s chest gently trembled, "Yes, as long as you’re happy."

"It’s late, are you sleeping here tonight?"

Lu Jinxuan, eyes closed in fatigue, nodded, "Yes, I’ll get up in the morning."

Yu Sangwan fell silent, pulled the blanket to wrap them both tightly... He was truly exhausted, she hoped he could get a good night’s rest.

...

The next morning, Yu Sangwan was resting at home when she received a call from Gong Xueyan.

"Hello, Xueyan."

Gong Xueyan’s voice sounded urgent, "Did you watch the morning news?"

"Morning news?" Yu Sangwan was puzzled, "No, I got up late... what happened?"

Suddenly, she realized something must have happened.

Otherwise, Gong Xueyan wouldn’t specifically call for this.

"Wanwan." Gong Xueyan hesitated, "Listen, wait at home... I’m coming over, we’ll talk then."

"Oh." She hung up, Yu Sangwan was restless, something happened! What could have happened?

Gong Xueyan soon arrived, Yu Sangwan was waiting for her in the living room, "Xueyan!"

"Wanwan." Gong Xueyan quickly approached, pulled her to sit down, "It’s like this, don’t worry, listen to me slowly..."

"Okay!" Yu Sangwan clenched her hands tightly, her heart in her throat.

Gong Xueyan took a deep breath, "The morning news has aired... During the Cabinet meeting hosted by President Helian, someone asked if Reporter Yu is pregnant! Is the child the President’s?"

"Ah..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, it has reached this point!

What now? She knew staying in Holy City would surely bring trouble to him!

"And." Gong Xueyan frowned, feeling pity, "This must be Qin Shaoju’s doing... Someone questioned if Lu Qingming and Reporter Yu’s current unborn child share the same father! Meaning, Qin Shaoju couldn’t wait any longer, he’s already exposed that suspicion!"

"Ah!" Yu Sangwan covered her mouth, "What do we do?"

At that moment, she was at a loss.
